  • Page 13: Solar Power

    Solar Power Solar power: With energy costs and pollution rising, the limitless supply of pollution free solar energy will have an ever-increasing role in meeting our world’s energy needs. Since the sun will always be bright, solar energy will always be available. Solar panels are quiet, clean, and will last for years since they don’t have any moving parts that can wear out.
  • Page 14: How A Solar Panel Works

    How a Solar Panel Works Your solar panel is made from silicon, like the transistors and microprocessor used throughout the electronics industry. Silicon is easy to nd, since ordinary sand contains mostly silicon. The silicon is re ned into two layers of very pure crystal, but tiny amounts of di erent minerals (such as Boron and Phosphorus) are added to give one side a positive electrical charge and the other side a negative charge.
